Position - Approval Hierarchy
• Position Hierarchies are hierarchies that have a position
relationship. By position, we mean position that are
attached to employees.
• Purchasing utilizes positions as a roadmap to determine
how and where documents will be routed once the
approval process has been initiated.
• It is first necessary to have created all positions that are
going to be used in the system.
• Once all positions have been created, it is necessary to
build the position hierarchy.
• Each position has approval limits, so when a purchase order
exceeds the limits of the position, the purchase order is
forwarded onto the next position in the Hierarchy.

Case
• We will set up a 3-tier approval hierarchy
which will full-fill the following.
• Purchaser, Department Head & Branch Head
• We create the three tire hierarchy for the Re
1, Rs 30,000 & Rs 100000.
• If a PO is more than Re 1 and within Rs 30001,
the approver will be the Department head.
• If a PO is within the range of Rs 30,001 - Rs
1,00,001, the approver will be the Branch
Head. (c) 2009 Evolutionary Systems Pvt. Ltd ~
